The Statue of Liberty was meant to be a lighthouse​

The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and the Statue of Liberty was meant to serve as a lighthouse to guide ships into New York Harbour. But it was later reimagined as a symbol of freedom. Have you seen the Statue of Liberty? We'd love to know your experience (or even photos)!

The best image of the Statue of Liberty was in the Charlton Heston movie "The Planet Of The Apes".

I’ve seen it from the mainland, but didn’t actually take the ferry to go in there. In 2005, I’d visited New York City for a few days, but stayed at a hotel across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Hotels were so expensive in New York and cheaper in New Jersey.
